ok, may be it's time for me to ask help here.
i'm the curl package maintainer, a sponsorized and not a real one i mean.
i've this problem:
i can't figure how to put my package in the right section.
debianized curl is divided in two binaries: curl and curl-ssl.
they conflicts each other and that is fine.
i'd like to put curl in the web section of main whereas curl-ssl
in non-US/main.
i talk about curl now, since that for curl-ssl the procedure is the same.
here is my control file for curl source tree:
Source: curl
Section: web
Priority: optional
Maintainer: Domenico Andreoli <cavok@libero.it>
Standards-Version: 3.1.1
Package: curl
Architecture: any
Conflicts: curl-ssl
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}
Description: Get a file from an FTP, GOPHER, or HTTP server. (no ssl)
curl is a client to get documents/files from servers, using any of the
supported protocols. The command is designed to work without user
interaction or any kind of interactivity.
.
curl offers a busload of useful tricks like proxy support, user
authentication, ftp upload, HTTP post, file transfer resume and more.
.
Note: this version is compiled without SSL support.

it looks fine, doesn't it?
here is that for wget (i took it as example):
Source: wget
Section: web
Priority: optional
Maintainer: Nicolás Lichtmaier <nick@debian.org>
Standards-Version: 3.0.1
Package: wget
Architecture: any
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}
Description: utility to retrieve files from the WWW via HTTP and FTP
Wget [formerly known as Geturl] is a freely available network utility
to retrieve files from the World Wide Web using HTTP and FTP, the two
most widely used Internet protocols. It works non-interactively, thus
enabling work in the background, after having logged off.
.
The recursive retrieval of HTML pages, as well as FTP sites is
supported -- you can use Wget to make mirrors of archives and home
pages, or traverse the web like a WWW robot (Wget understands
/robots.txt).
EOF
ok. the problem is that after a dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc
wget package comes with right section whereas curl comes with no section
at all! same problem with curl-ssl.
now i want to understund why this is happening.
could anybody help me with this mess? what is wrong?
thaks all.
happy new y2k!!! :)
